**
From New York Times bestselling author Jessica Goodman comes a twisty
new thriller about three best friends, one elite summer camp, and the
dark secrets that lead to a body in the lake.**
Camp Alpine Lake is the only place where Goldie Easton feels safe.
She's always had a special connection to the place, even before she was
old enough to attend. The camp is the lifeline of Roxwood, the small
town she lives in. Alpine Lake provides jobs, money and prestige to the
region. Few Roxwood locals, though, get to reap the rewards of living so
close to the glam summer that camp, with its five-figure tuition and
rich kids who have been dumped there for eight weeks by their powerful
parents. Goldie's one of them.
Even with her "townie" background, Goldie has never felt more at home at
camp and now she's back as a counselor, desperate for summer to start
and her best friends, Ava and Imogen, to arrive. Because Goldie has a
terrible dark secret she's been keeping and she is more in need of the
comfort than ever.
But Goldie's not the only person at camp who has been lying. When a teen
turns up dead in the lake late one night, she knows that the death
couldn't have been an accident. She also knows that Ava was at the lake
that same night.
What did Ava see and what does she know? Why hasn't she said anything to
Goldie about the death? Worse--what did Ava do?
But asking questions offers no answers, only broken bonds of lifelong
friendship, with hidden danger and betrayals deeper than Goldie ever
imagined.
